If both are carbon I'd personally prefer the CS style paint matched like in the ad. Not sure if there are any airflow benefits to either, but weight would be lighter for sure.

The cs style is Aluminum. Their weight would be similar with the aluminum just a tad (maybe 1-2lb) heavier.

GTS all the way. I’m getting mine fitted beginning of next month! It’s going to totally transform the car.

Here’s an update since I had my GTS hood fitted. Absolutely love it.
